Our third time visiting this amazing hotel and can admit I had tears when we left!
I simply cannot recommend this hotel enough! The staff get to know you on a first name basis and very quickly get to learn your drinks orders/ where you like to sit in the restaurants, even what books you are reading “haven’t you finished yet, I know the ending!”
The food is amazing and Hassan took great care in making sure I could eat comfortably (I have coeliac disease so have to eat gluten free) although I will confess when he wasn’t working some of the labelling wasn’t always correct and the desserts were the same every night (eclairs and fruit pots compared to the rows of normal desserts) however I didn’t have an allergic reaction so can’t complain! I wasn’t aware of gluten free pancakes until the last day so maybe once you know someone has allergies a little note in their room to advise different options as they were also amazing and I wish I could of had them earlier on :)
If you want a hotel you can come, relax, make friends and never want to leave this is the place for you! One person was on their 30th visit and we can happily say we will be back for our 4th visit soon!
You can tell how much all the staff enjoy working there and take great pride in their jobs. 5stars!!
This was our 5th visit to Barut Andiz with another booked for June 2027.
The management, staff and service are what keep us coming back each year together with the quality of food and drink on offer.
Halit makes the most wonderful cocktails and we love spending time chatting to him before we head off to dinner, although we often found ourselves returning for a quick ‘night cap’ before bed!
Daytimes were mostly spent around the pool being looked after by Ismail, together with Halil who are always smiling and Harun and Baruk in the evenings. All headed up by Ufuk (gorgeous George).
Thanks to Mehmet and Nuri for looking after us during our visits to the à la carte restaurants.
I would definitely recommend both the spa where my husband and I enjoyed an aroma massage and the hairdressers where I had a wash and blow dry and my husband a shave. All are very professional and we certainly felt pampered.
Well done to Barut Andiz on your latest award and achievement and to Savaş for leading such an amazing team.
See you next year! Julie & Mark
5* PLUS Once again my mum & I stayed at the Tui Blue Andiz in April 2026 to celebrate my mums 84 th Birthday. I cannot express enough how amazing this Hotel is from the minute you arrive until you leave all staff including reception, cleaners, waiters, chiefs, grounds staff, beach guys, are all friendly, professional, happy and give 110% in the service they provide. I want to give a special mention to Burak at the Roof Terrace Bar (Burak makes the most amazing covktails. Ismail (Pool Area) who never seen us without a drink. Mehmet (Main Restaurant) always greeted with a warm, friendly smile and provided excellent service. Nuri (Olive Restaurant) who made my mum’s 84 Birthday extra special. Harun (Pool Bar) So happy, friendly always provided drinks with a smile. And of course not forgetting Savas The Manager who always had time to stop and chat making sure everyone was happy with the service this amazing hotel offers and was genuine, approachable, friendly, brilliant. You can see why guests return year after year; you will too once you have been. Can’t wait to see everyone again soon. Tracy & Rose (mum)
Our 7th visit to this great hotel. That and the 3000+ positive reviews probably say it all. However just had to add more. We arrived mid evening, stopped at the downstairs (pool) bar for a drink, were greeted by barman Harun, who remembered us and said “welcome back to Andiz family”. Next day we were greeted warmly by Savas and Nurettin, followed by Ufuk (George) and Mehmet (usually at Olive restaurant). How they remember you I do not know but they genuinely do. It is the staff who make this hotel, all friendly, hard working and cannot do enough for you, clearly following the example set by Savas. We had a small problem with the shower on day 2, reported it to reception early evening not expecting it to be looked at that day, but it was fixed by the time we went back to our room 2 hours later. The staff you do not necessarily come into contact with (maintenance, gardeners, cleaners, kitchen staff) all work hard and contribute to making this hotel what it is. Not forgetting the young lady with the big smile who replenishes water and other drinks in your room fridge daily. Everything was as good as our last visit, the main difference we noted was the food. There is a new head chef who has made his mark. The lunchtime menu upstairs in Culinarium has changed with many more items as well as two daily specials. It was popular keeping Nurettin and other staff very busy. The food offerings the in main restaurant in the evenings now regularly include “show cooking” with items such as pasta (with choice of sauces), shepherds pie, beef Wellington and tandoori Turkey. There was also a lovely roast dinner on Sunday lunchtime (probably for the British) with home made yorkshires that were much better than you get in many English pubs. A lovely time again, hope we will return before too long
Another fantastic two weeks at the Barut Andiz – our 4th visit!
My wife and I spent two weeks at the Barut Andiz at the end of September, and once again, we had a fantastic holiday. This was our fourth visit, which says everything about how much we love this hotel.
What keeps bringing us back is the overall experience. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food is excellent, the drinks are great, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel is first class. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, and it’s that personal touch that really makes the difference.
The pool area is lovely for relaxing, the beach is just a short walk away, and the location is ideal for getting out and about in Side. We also enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the quality of service, which make it so easy to settle in and enjoy every minute.
Having visited four times now, we know what to expect, but the hotel continues to deliver. There’s a reason we keep coming back, and it’s not just one thing – it’s the whole experience, from the staff to the food and the feeling of being somewhere you genuinely enjoy.
A huge thank you to everyone at the Barut Andiz for helping make another holiday so enjoyable. We’ve made some lovely memories over our visits, and we’re already looking forward to returning again.
Highly recommended – a fantastic hotel with wonderful people. See you again soon!
